Overview

introduction welcome to the mantsu documentation! mantsu ( man ufacturing t emplate su ite) is a modular mes (manufacturing execution system) solution built on the low code mendix platform it provides ready made, yet customizable templates for core manufacturing functions; such as order management, downtime & loss reasons tracking, product quality control, checklist execution, recipe management and insights with its mendix foundation, mantsu enables rapid implementation, seamless scaling, and easy adaptation to unique production processes this helps manufacturers digitalize operations faster and more cost effectively compared to traditional mes or moms suites or fully custom solutions why use mantsu? mantsu helps manufacturers modernize operations by replacing paper forms and spreadsheets with digital, low code solutions it combines the speed and agility of out of the box software with the flexibility of custom mes development with mantsu, you save time, cut costs, and gain a scalable foundation for continuous improvement it gives you the possibility to start small and add what you need, when you need it key benefits include a secure single source of truth, no more copying of data faster and automated validation processes based on data higher workforce engagement that gives knowledge adaptability to changing customer and market demands high return on investment start from a solid base, and let the application grow with low code development as you learn what you actually need key features modular & scalable start small, expand at your own pace cloud native & multi device – accessible anywhere, anytime role based & multi language – tailored to teams across locations mobile support – operators can work on the go machine connectivity – link tools, equipment, and people operator guidance – streamlined, user friendly interfaces communication layer – secure, high throughput data exchange core concepts before diving too deep, it’s helpful to understand a few fundamental building blocks you’ll see throughout mantsu low code foundation built on mendix, enabling rapid implementation, easy updates, and customer driven customization modularity redefined each module (e g , downtimes, lists, quality checks, order cockpit, recipe management, insights) works independently but integrates seamlessly with each other, or with existing applications think big, start small begin with essential modules and scale as production demands evolve flexible customization more than a ready made product, mantsu provides a dynamic starting point that adapts to your unique processes operator first design front end designs prioritize user experience, reducing training needs and improving efficiency modules mantsu is composed of multiple modules, each covering a specific area of functional features they work independently but are designed to integrate seamlessly with one another by using the indepedent modular approach, the roles and responsibilities can be managed more easily access can be provided to specific applications and denied to others implementation and roll out can be managed by activating the modules as required authenticator docid 3ysqtspvbf6czgbym4xwi is the identity and access management layer of the suite it centralises user management, role definitions, and access control for every module it supports both it administrators managing corporate identity integrations and shop floor users who need fast, friction free login methods like badge scan or pin core manager docid\ jn2nmwpv2pxeuqlhmop0a is the master data backbone shared by all other modules it holds the single source of truth for locations, equipment, materials, production orders, and system wide settings no production execution happens in the core itself it is the configuration layer that makes execution elsewhere possible and consistent order cockpit docid 1xxjfl0m4pnn7vqjjlsy1 is the primary execution interface for shop floor operators it brings every order related action into a single view material consumption, scrap reporting, time tracking, downtime registration, quality inspections, and checklist execution orders are filtered by equipment selection and real time status downtimes manager docid\ edcrfjuvfr92l7hvsspye provides end to end management of unplanned stops, planned maintenance events, and micro stops it includes a reason code tree, equipment level assignment of reason codes, and a full overview of registered downtime events checklists docid\ michueoksqbdfdfslmcnn manages the complete lifecycle of checklists, sops, and process inspection forms; from version controlled creation, review, and approval through to operator execution and sign off lists can be triggered manually or automatically quality management docid\ etp5ljioladniifbduksk covers inspection plans, characteristics, and inspections tied to specific materials re usable quality check definitions (characteristics) are linked to inspection plans, which drive the execution of inspection lots on the shop floor, with full traceability and reporting
